G0lfa Smells a Rat

On a {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop, one player bet 1,000. Ryan "G0lfa" D'Angelo called, and Tom Schneider folded. The {9-Diamonds} turn earned a check from both, but D'Angelo's opponent went back to betting after the {7-Hearts} river looked like it could have been useful. He bet 2,500, and after a moment, G0lfa made it 8,000. He snap-folded, giving D'Angelo an annoyed look. D'Angelo has 12,200 plus two more rebuys.

Lelouche Booted by Boosted

Antony Lelouche got his last several thousand chips in the pot preflop. He raised, Michael Mizrachi flatted, and when it got to Justin Smith in the big blind, he repotted, Lelouche called all in for not much more, and Mizrachi got out of the way.

Lelouche: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Smith: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Lelouche didn't have much to work with, and the {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts} board didn't help at all. His day is done while Boosted J is up to 32,000.

Marafioti's Aces are Good

When we walked up to the table the board read {3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Matt Marafioti checked, his opponent also checked, as did Team PokerStars Pro Alex Kravchenko.

The river brought the {5-Spades} and all three players checked. Marafioti turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and after careful examination of their own cards, his opponents tossed them into the muck, and Marafioti dragged in the 6,400 pot.

Nguyen Not Happy

Men Nguyen raised preflop and pushed out several of the limpers to see an {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop three-handed. The first player checked, and Nguyen bet 4,000. The button folded, and the other opponent called. He checked again after the {10-Clubs} turn, and Nguyen checked behind. The {5-Diamonds} river didn't add much to the board, but it got a 6,000-chip bet out of Nguyen's opponent. Men gave up his hand and dropped down to 10,000.

Schwartz Gets a Little Value from durrrr

Tom Dwan bet 450 at an {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop, and Noah Schwartz raised it to 1,300. Dwan's not a big fan of folding, so he called to see the {k-Hearts} on the river. He checked this time, and called again when Schwartz bet 1,900. When durrrr checked the {6-Spades} river, Schwartz bet 7,000, and that was enough for Dwan to find a fold. Noah showed aces for flopped top boat. He's down to his last 3,500, and Schwartz has 24,000.

Singer Not Singing

David Singer and his opponent got all the chips in the middle on a flop of {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Singer had his opponent covered and showed {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and was behind his opponent's flopped set with {4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

The turn brought the {7-Spades} and the river the {4-Hearts} to give Singer's opponent the double up. Singer is sitting at 13,000 now.
